## Narrative

Two employees were using the Deer Creek escapeway hoist when the motor tachometer malfunctioned, resulting in an overspeed fault, stopping the hoist.  Due to the remote location of the shaft, the employees were caught on the hoist for approximately 45 minutes until the fault could be cleared from the surface control panel.
